Sweat is basically water so sweating in a shower would be useless. I don’t even think it’s possible tbh. Once you get above a certain temperature you’re just burning yourself.
Sweat is salty water, so it’s different. It’s released more when your body is hot, not because it’s dry. You probably aren’t sweating in an air conditioned room and showers are typically hotter than room temperature, probably hot enough to make you sweat. I’m not sure why you think your sweat would turn off just because you’re wet. If that was the case, you wouldn’t have pooled sweat pouring off you on humid days
I was thinking more along the lines of the water from the shower already acting as sweat by absorbing the heat. Which would make sweating useless. I dont feel like I’ve run into a situation which like this before, but based on people’s comments, I may be wrong here.
It’s useless, yes, but your body didn’t evolve to account for pouring a bunch of heated water over yourself
Physically speaking the sweat isn’t going to cool you down if you’re already covered in shower water, but you’d definitely still be sweating.
OP… Have you ever actually taken a shower? Because this is not true at all.
OP just revealed to us that they have never taken a hot shower in their whole life.
As bullshit as “you can’t feel yourself sweat in the pool”
I met a researcher that was measuring swimmer sweat. To do it he had to patch part of their body with a waterproof detector. Spoiler alert, they do!
